One Little Skirt

A little skirt for a little lady! This skirt was so easy to make. I used the leftover fabric from my apron and made it in less than 30 minutes. I think she'll be getting lots of these made for her!

What's cookin?

The other night I took Morgan to Joanns with me and we picked out a project that we could do together. (okay, so I did most of the work!!) We picked something easy and she had fun picking out the fabric. What do you think? Of course had to make one for myself. I made mine a little different. Morgan's I hemmed all the way around so it was a single piece of material. Mine I doubled the fabric to make it thicker. I put two right sides together, sewed it and then turned inside out.(after I had attached the belts and neck strap.) It was actually easier so when I make more it will be nice and fast.
Will I wear it I wonder? Sure.... when I do all that cooking I'm famous for...ha

Table Runner!

I found this table runner pattern in (again) the Quilts and More magazine. I found most of the material at Wal-Mart in a packet of fat quarters, the rest was from my scraps. Love using scraps!!! I even quilted it and tried to be fancy and quilt stars on it-- they turned out terrible (needs more work) so I didn't do very many. I just might have to make one for other holidays.

Laptop bag

I found this pattern in the Quilts and More magazine. It's a bag for a laptop. Every laptop needs some lovin' right? It was pretty easy- alittle tricky at some spots but now I know for next time. I got to try out my new darning foot and quilted the whole thing. It takes a lot of time and I think I'll need lots more practice to get the stitches nice and even. You can't sew fast and you can't move the fabric fast or the stitches jump.

Pretty fun though. Now I can take my laptop in a cute bag--you know, to the next room!

Projects, Projects, Projects!

Ah, so many projects that I want to do! I have so many going and I'm having so much fun! I've been making more storage boxes to give to the kids teachers, I finished Westley's bedspread, I started a table runner and I'm quilting a quilt. I bought a walking foot and a darning foot and I've been having a blast figuring them out! Quilting takes some time that's for sure. Give me a few days and I will post some pics of the many projects!

Here's a preview of the quilt I'm working on. I'm loving all the bright colors!
